As we saw happen so often last year, US stock prices on Monday were heavily buffeted by headlines stemming from trade negotiations between the US and China. Share prices on Wall Street initially slumped — following weekend tweets from President Trump that suggested imminent hikes in tariffs on imported Chinese goods — but later bounced back, on […]

The US corporate earnings season kicks into top gear this week, with a spate of big-name companies set to report their quarterly results, including Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon. More than a quarter of the companies in the S&P 500, in fact, will announce their earnings this week. So far, more than three quarters of the […]

Andrew2018 I completed another small trade in Vodafone yesterday which continues to trade around the £1.40 mark. The company is due to report on the 14th May and with the numbers being so close it is unlikely I will trade this one again until after the numbers. I am keeping a close eye on AstraZeneca […]

We are now into the early stages of the US corporate earnings season and the big banks have delivered a bit of a mixed bag so far.

The February flash PMI from IHS Markit showed manufacturing output in the euro area plunging to a 71-month […]

Stocks have been generally climbing in recent trading days, though gains on Wall Street have been constrained by some key stocks coming under pressure.

Unease regarding the health of the world’s economy weighed on stock prices last week, a situation that was not aided by Friday’s surprisingly soft US employment data — US nonfarm payrolls growth slowed to just 20,000 in February, undershooting even the low end of Wall Street expectations by more than 100,000 jobs. This week has begun […]
